This Tuesday, March 29, 2011, yourself, your friends, and everyone you know and their mothers, should be watching ABC at 10 p.m. Or you will surely miss out on the American premiere of what critics are saying will be the new Grey's Anatomy, "Body of Proof". The show is sort of a combination of Grey's Anatomy and House, with a police procedural background, and a great cast.
Not to mention I worked on it, and Episode 8 will be Mary Fegreus'(Mary Mary Mary) world television premiere. So now you all should be personally invested.
BE THERE!
Ignore the promo that says Fridays this fall. Don't forget, get those ratings up Tuesday, March 29th at 10 PM on ABC!

JGL in Batman 3
I was holding off to put this in here until it was 100 percent confirmed. It now is.
One of my favorite actors for awhile has been Joseph Gordon-Levitt. From his first real role in Angels in the Outfield, I thought he was awesome. 3rd Rock from the Sun was probably his big break, and a few years later, 10 Things I Hate About You (rip Heath) really brought him mainstream. Films like Brick, 500 Days of Summer, and Inception have made him bigger and bigger and he is finally becoming a very well known name.
His next role is going to be Huge. Capital H. He has just been confirmed to re-team with Christopher Nolan in Nolan's final chapter of his Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises. He will be playing Alberto Falcone, the son of mafia boss Carmine Falcone, who was played by Tom Wilkinson in Batman Begins.
Alberto Falcone, aka The Holiday Killer, is a serial killer who goes on a murderous rampage every holiday, earning him his name. JGL joins Anne Hathaway who will play Catwoman and Tom Hardy (who was the perfect comic relief in Inception) as Bane, who were all just recently cast in this epic finale.
July 20, 2012 is far too far away.

P.S. some minor rumors have placed Marion Cotillard in talks for a role as well. GOD DAMN!

Sweet Poster.
This poster is just really sweet. Not to mention it has a banging cast.
Woody Allen has basically been traveling around the world making new movies after tiring of New York. He's done Match Point (SERIOUSLY good movie) in London, Vicki Cristina Barcelona (enough said) in Barcelona, this one is obvi in Paris and he just signed on to do his next one in Rome. Keep em comin!

No release date yet set, as the movie is going to be opening the Cannes Film Festival on May 11.

Shut Up, Crime!
Here's a new trailer from writer/director James Gunn, called Super. Speaking of Rainn Wilson, it stars him as a sort of loser who loses his girlfriend to a drug dealer jerk then decides to don a costume and fight crime.
Also stars, Ellen Page as his sidekick, Liv Tyler as his girlfriend, and Kevin Bacon as the drug dealer.
Comes out April 1st.

Looks pretty good. It looks like a ridiculous, yet charming indie. I like the animations throughout as well. It's got a Scott Pilgrim vs. The World feel to that part.

They were once in... (#2)
So everyone knows Rainn Wilson who plays Dwight Schrute on The Office. So this one is gonna make a lot of sense.
Rainn is 45 now and pretty renown as Dwight, but his first screen role came in when he was 32 as an alien who translates languages in the first few scenes of one of my favorite alien films, Galaxy Quest.
Seriously, if you haven't, watch Galaxy Quest. It's hilarious.

In feature films, the director is God. In documentaries, God is the director.
Documentaries are a tricky thing with Americans. There are few "LOVED them"s and many, many "I watched like two minutes of that thing." I admit that I have fallen into both these categories before.
Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with documentaries. However, I do think that we were shown one to many lab safety instruction videos and health/science "films" as youngsters that it's tough to realize the difference between the contempt we all have for those educational "films" and a gripping, informative documentary. And all in all, they are sometimes not as entertaining to the eye as visually stunning blockbusters.
But Cate Hahneman, a blogger on one of the film sites I frequent wrote a great editorial about how documentaries can and should be cool. If you aren't really a fan of documentaries, check this out. It might just peak an interest.
As it's quite long, I'm going to put it in the comments section so this page isn't too cluttered.

Nolan Snubbed
Most people would agree that the biggest snub of the Academy Awards was Tom Hooper winning best director for The King's Speech over David Fincher for The Social Network. Of the actually awards, I would agree.
BUT as for the entire nominations, I think the biggest snub of this awards season was Christopher Nolan not being nominated at all for Inception. Most people thought he would be nominated over the Coen brothers for True Grit, as I did.
True Grit was a solid movie and a very good example of how to make a classic western, and proved the academies obsession with the Coen brothers. I love the Coen brothers for sure, but Nolan not being nominated shows the academies continual problem with categorizing Nolan movies into the action genre which is a GROSS understatement. Since 2000's Memento, Nolan has revolutionized the thriller category, knows how to navigate the audience through (what seems like) complicated and contrived plots, and has directed some of the most visually stunning and beautiful films of this millennium.
I give alot of credit to Wally Pfister, Nolan's cinematographer in all but one movie, who just won for Inception (over Roger Deakins, a 9 time nominee, mainstay of Coen brothers movies, and the Steven Spielberg of cinematographers).
Yet still, Nolan deserves more recognition then he has gotten for the 6 films he has done, making him the most successful British filmmaker, besides David Yates, who has directed the last three Harry Potters (Nolan has written all but one of his films). Rarely, is the most profitable movie the best one, but Nolan has constantly proved to be the exception to the rule.
